  2. Flash memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

    Common flash devices such as USB flash drives and memory cards provide only a block-level interface, or flash translation layer (FTL), which writes to a different cell each time to wear-level the device. This prevents incremental writing within a block; however, it does help the device from being prematurely worn out by intensive write patterns.

  3. USB flash drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive

    A flash drive (also thumb drive, memory stick, and pen drive/pendrive) [1] [note 1] is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. A typical USB drive is removable, rewritable, and smaller than an optical disc, and usually weighs less than 30 g (1 oz).

  4. Memory card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_card

    The basis for memory card technology is flash memory. [2] It was invented by Fujio Masuoka at Toshiba in 1980 [3] [4] and commercialized by Toshiba in 1987. [5] [6] The development of memory cards was driven in the 1980s by the need for an alternative to floppy disk drives that had lower power consumption, had less weight and occupied less ...

  5. Computer memory - Wikipedia

    An assortment of flash drives Transcend JetFlash from 2014. A flash drive is a portable computer drive that uses flash memory. Flash drives are the larger memory modules consisting of a number of flash chips. A flash chip is used to read the contents of a single cell, but it can write entire block of cells.

  7. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    An illustration of the write amplification phenomenon in flash-based storage devices. Over time, advancements in central processing unit (CPU) speed has driven innovation in secondary storage technology. [7] One such innovation, flash memory, is a non-volatile storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.

  8. External storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_storage

    Today the term external storage most commonly applies to those storage devices external to a personal computer. [5] The terms refer to any storage external to the computer. Storage as distinct from memory in the early days of computing was always external to the computer as for example in the punched card devices and media. Today storage ...

  9. Common Flash Memory Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Flash_Memory_Interface

    The Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI) is an open standard jointly developed by AMD, Intel, Sharp and Fujitsu. It is implementable by all flash memory vendors, and has been approved by the non-volatile-memory subcommittee of JEDEC. [1] [2] The goal of the specification is the interchangeability of flash memory devices offered by different ...
